Priceless: Plumbing Peace of Mind

Came across an article this week that reminded me why plumbing work is so important: it offers peace of mind. We don’t often think about the plumbing system in our homes until there’s a problem with it. That’s a good thing — who wants something else to worry about? At Progressive Plumbing and Piping, we pride ourselves on doing high-quality plumbing work so you can go about your life with one less thing on your mind.

Here’s the column, by a writer for the East Aurora Advertiser:

In Praise of Plumbers

It’s actually true: you never do miss the water ’til the well runs dry.

We lost our water last Friday afternoon, just as the long holiday weekend was about to get underway. The clothes washer was churning, my son was watering newly seeded grass, and-boom. Just like that. No water.

Was it the well? Pump? Both? Of course I feared the worst and pictured our household without water for three weeks while we paid 10 grand for a new well to be dug.

Lucky for us, a Facebook friend recommended a wonderful local plumber, who arrived before 8 a.m. on Saturday. It took him several hours, but he gave us back the liquid of life: water.

I was so grateful for that water on Saturday after the plumbing was fixed. But if I had made a list Friday morning of the things I’m grateful for, “water” might not have occurred to me. It’s funny what you can learn after just 24 hours of living without something so precious.
